While on my way home from work this evening, I noticed a Crimson Trident on Small Heath Highway heading towards city; I couldn't make out exactly what it was displaying on the front display, the top line said 'Remembering' then another word I couldn't make out, and the bottom line said '1946(?)-2016(?)' (the question marks are as I couldn't make out the exact digits). There didn't appear to be any passengers on it.

Sorry for the vagueness, as I didn't see the fleetnumber either, just wondering if anyone knew what this was about? Driver just set an incorrect display while running out-of-service? Used on some private hire?

Just curious, that's all!

It could have been 4634 which has 'Remembering Noel Mulvey who it is named after in the display

Thanks, that might be it then, was around 6pm if that helps narrow it down. It could have been 'Remembering Noel' actually on the top line of the display.

I saw a Crimson Trident at Yardley Swan heading towards City running NIS with the same display a couple days ago. It was at around midnight.
